if what you are describing in it's most basic farm (sans visual
stylings) is this...

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>
   <table>
    <tr>
     <td></td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
  <td>
   <table>
    <tr>
     <td></td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
  <td>
   <table>
    <tr>
     <td></td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

...just remove the nested tables since they are only holding a graphic.

you need to make sure the outer <td> is vertically aligned, <td
valign="top">. otherwise the nested table--if vertically smaller than
the <td> it is contained within--will align itself to the middle
vertically.

make sense?

please do try and find somewhere online to put it.
